She sat there listening to the man sitting in front of her. She had trusted him before all of this - but now, he was blubbering about what happened. All 6 of the vacationers would find their way to her house to tell her what happened on their Mexico trip.
All of them had their own version of events, but it wasn’t adding up.
How come they all left for Mexico together as “friends,” but they left her daughter, Shanquella, in Mexico? Why was her daughter’s body being held in a foreign coroner’s medical office? Why were these so-called “friends” lying about her daughter’s death?
Who needs enemies when you have friends like these?

Police records, Robinson's death certificate, and the stories told by Robinson’s friends all give conflicting accounts of her death. The friends initially told Robinson's family she died from alcohol poisoning in the presence of a doctor, who had been on the scene for about three hours. But the death certificate said that she died from a severe neck injury about 15 minutes after receiving the injury.
A video surfaced after Robinson’s death that appears to show one of Robinson's companions beating her. Robinson does not fight back, and in fact, a voice is heard on the video asking her to do so.
Mexican authorities and the FBI are investigating the case, and Mexico issued an arrest warrant and extradition request for one of Robinson’s traveling companions. The U.S. Department of Justice and, ultimately, the Secretary of State will make a decision on whether the extradition will be allowed. No arrests have been made.

Initially, Robinson’s mother was told by the friends that Shanquella had died from alcohol poisoning, but the autopsy told a different story.
Robinson’s died due to “severe spinal cord injury and atlas luxation.” Atlas luxation means an instability or excessive movement in the top neck vertebrae.
A viral video surface of Robinson being beaten inside her room. She is seen being thrown to the floor and beaten on the head.
Now Mexican authorities have issued an arrest warrant for one of the women traveling with Robinson. A name has not been released but authorities want the suspect extradited back to Mexico to face charges. As yet, what those charges may be has not been named.
